Discussion: ATG's first shot always hits? Would make for an interesting combo with camo doctrine abilities and a hold fire function

Regardless small to moderate accuracy buffs are in order against small targets especially, such as t70s.

ATG should always hit a vehicle of any size sitting still. Its too stupid to see a t34 sitting still and miss

spring or winter with no blizzards

Make a thread about katyushas or su76s and see if it gets 200 posts of discussion and fights. PROTIP: It wont. The KV-8 blatantly needs fixing and being in denial doesnt make coh2 a better game.

Really the only arguments I've seen against any changes to the kv-8 boil down to two very partisan points of view:

1. "soviet is shit, I hate their units, all their units suck and only the kv-8 is here to make up for me heroically fighting against german noobs who deserve all the cheese I give them and more"

Stop the fanboying crap and wise up. You act like changes to the kv-8 would be made in a vacuum with no other balances to ostheer or soviets in the same patch. If soviets were so weak then ostheer top players would never lose.

2. "kv-8s are powerful because you didnt prepare for them"

Any unit is powerful if you don't prepare for them. The problem as stated many times is three fold with the kv-8's current meta

A. They come out relatively quickly, low fuel cost, no building requirements, 4CP. Sov dont even have to tech to get a heavy tank?
B. High damage destroys AT guns, infantry squads, light vehicles
C. High survivability with heavy armor, fairly quick speed

These options combine to make it very difficult to actually prepare for the unit, especially if you arent on the watch for a kv-8 build (shocks/lots of t2 support units to kill time until kv8s hit). Even if you rush a p4 out at the same time, you will watch plenty of hits deflect off its armor as it denies you the ability to attack key areas of the map or kills enough squads to turn the tide.
If you know the enemy needs a VP and cant use infantry to kill the probable kv-8 guardian, he will bring a tank. Sit your ZIS on his avenue of approach and lol as you force him off. Use your kv-8 to massacre whats left.

Combined arms = good
One unit or ability (strafe?) dictating an enemy's gameplay = bad

Any "arguments" against nerfing the kv-8 at this point are self serving from players who want to keep this cheese going indefinitely

I had a faust fired on the bottom half of kholdny in the hedgerow area hit a tree and explode ineffectually as the m3 backed around enough corners at full speed. Its possible it took soem damage without engine damage modifier but it was a cool moment.

Interesting that weapons NOT automatically hitting is a "cool" moment

german is noob faction ONLY NOOBS PLAY THEM CUZ THEY NEED NO MICRO

TOP 10 GERMAN PLAYERS ON LADDER IS DUMB AND NOOB

go play helpinghan's soviet as ostheer and talk to me about no need for micro. just because whiners play 4v4 and complain when they get mg42 spammed to death does not merit a thread

This whine that germans are the easy mode faction is toxic and pretty far removed from reality. I guess thats why no one wins their soviet matches in tourneys/1v1s vs good german players right?
But I hear this shit multiple times a day in chat in game

so in summary tl;dr GERMAN IS SO NOOB NO ONE SHOULD PLAY THEM SO SOVIETS CAN IDLE ON FINDING AUTOMATCHES FOREVER AND FEEL SUPERIOR
